Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child isn't taking Higher Maths. Can a tutor still help them with the maths side of Higher Physics?

Absolutely. Many parents share this concern. Our Higher Physics tutors are experts at teaching the specific mathematical skills needed for the course, whether it's rearranging complex formulas or tackling multistep calculations. They can bridge any gaps and ensure your child feels confident with the 'hidden maths' in the subject.

How can a tutor help with abstract topics like relativity or particle physics?

These concepts are often where students hit a 'brick wall'. A good SQA Physics tutor can break down complex ideas like relativity, quantum mechanics, or wave-particle duality into digestible parts, using relatable examples and different teaching methods to make them clear and understandable, helping your child develop that critical abstract thinking.

What about the Higher Physics Assignment? Can a tutor help with that?

Yes, a tutor can provide invaluable guidance for the Assignment. They can help your child understand the requirements, brainstorm unique experiment ideas, structure their report, and manage their time effectively. This ensures the Assignment contributes positively to their final grade without overwhelming their exam revision.

My child achieved an A in National 5 Physics but is struggling with Higher. How can tutoring help bridge this gap?

The jump from National 5 to Higher Physics is significant, moving from formula application to complex problem-solving. A tutor can help identify specific areas of difficulty, introduce effective problem-solving strategies, and build the deeper conceptual understanding needed to excel at the Higher level.

My child is worried about university applications and achieving the necessary grades for courses like Engineering. How can a Higher Physics tutor make a difference?

Getting strong grades in subjects like Scottish Highers Physics is crucial for competitive university courses. A tutor provides targeted support, helping your child aim for those specific grades by focusing on exam technique, challenging topics, and ensuring a thorough understanding of the entire curriculum, helping them stand out on their application.

When is the best time to start tuition for Scottish Highers Physics?

Many students find starting earlier in S5 beneficial, especially given the rapid pace of the Higher course. This allows plenty of time to build a strong foundation, address any challenges as they arise, and prepare thoroughly for both the SQA exam and the Assignment. However, support can be valuable at any point in the academic year.

How do I know I'm getting a good SQA physics tutor?

We take tutor quality very seriously. We only accept the best, with only 1 in 8 tutors who apply making it onto our platform. All tutors are thoroughly background-checked, and you can read detailed profiles and reviews from other students and parents to ensure you find the perfect match for your child's learning style and goals.
